Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Break the sausage links (casing removed) into 1 inch pieces and roll each one into balls. Set aside.
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set them aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in the marinara sauce beef broth. Stir in the dried Italian seasoning.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and then add the rigatoni pasta, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Return the meatballs to the pot, nestling them into the pasta. Cover with a lid and let it simmer until the pasta is al dente, about 20-25 minutes.
- Dollop ricotta cheese over the pasta and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Place the pot into the oven and bake uncovered until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot directly from the pot.
